I was a girl
You was "The Man"
I was too young
To understand
I was naive
I just believed
Everything that you told me
Said you was strong
Protecting me
Then I found out
That you were weak
Keeping me there
Under your thumb
Cause you were scared that I'd become
Much more than you could handle
Shining like a chandelier
That decorated every room inside
The private hell we built
and I dealt with it
Like a kid I wished I could fly away
But instead I

(Chorus)
Kept my tears inside
Cause I knew if I started
I'd keep crying for the rest of my life with you
I finally built up the strength to walk away
Don't regret it
But I still live with the side effects
Waking up scared some nights still dreamin about them violent times
Still a little protective about the people that I let inside
Still a little defensive thinking folk be trying to run my life
Still a little depressed inside, I fake a smile
And deal with the side effects
Side Effects
Side Effects
Side Effects


Vacant inside, no one was there
Couldn't be real
Had to keep quiet
Once in a while
Put up a fight
It's just too much
Night after night
After a while, I would just lie
You wasn't wrong
Said you was right
Did what I could
Just to survive
Couldn't believe
This was my life
Flickering like a candle
Doing my best to handle sleeping with the enemy
Aware that he was smothering
Every last part of me
So I broke away and finally found the strength to breathe

(chorus)

Forgive but I can't forget
Everyday I deal with this
I live with the side effects
But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me
Forgive but I can't forget
Everyday I deal with this
I live with the side effects
But I ain't gonna let them get the best of me

(chorus)
